Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process (e.g., through a separate vulnerability) can exploit insufficient input validation in Chrome for iOS to escape the sandbox isolation by tricking the user into visiting a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability is rated High severity in Chromium and has a CVSS score of 9.6.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Google Chrome for iOS is installed
    Open the iOS Settings app and scroll through the list of installed applications. Verify that Google Chrome for iOS appears in the list of apps.
    Affected if Chrome for iOS is not present on the device - the vulnerability does not apply to other browsers or Chrome on other platforms.
  2. Locate the version number in Chrome for iOS
    Open the Chrome for iOS app. Tap on the profile icon in the bottom-right corner, then tap on 'Chrome' or the settings gear icon. Scroll down and tap on 'Chrome' again to access version information. Alternatively, check in iOS Settings by finding Chrome in the app list and tapping on it.
    Affected if Unable to locate version information - the version must be verified to determine if it falls within the affected range.
  3. Compare installed version to affected threshold
    Identify the full version number displayed (for example: 150.0.7871.x or earlier). Compare this numeric version against 150.0.7871.47. Any version lower than 150.0.7871.47 is within the affected range.
    Affected if The installed version is less than 150.0.7871.47 - the device is running a vulnerable version of Chrome for iOS.
  4. Verify Chrome update availability
    In Chrome for iOS, navigate to the Chrome settings menu and look for an 'Update Chrome' option. If an update is available, it indicates the current version is outdated. Additionally, check the iOS App Store for Chrome updates.
    Affected if An update is available - this confirms the current installed version is below the patched release.

A device is affected if Google Chrome for iOS is installed with a version number lower than 150.0.7871.47.
